﻿1
00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:04,000
The wolf fiercely chases away intruders.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,490
Huh?

3
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:08,650
Asa!

4
00:00:08,650 --> 00:00:11,220
Did you go into... my...

5
00:00:11,780 --> 00:00:13,100
Never mind. That couldn't be.

6
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:14,770
Sorry, forget it.

7
00:00:15,590 --> 00:00:17,810
I swear it was right here...

8
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:21,510
You know, my sister kept a journal too.

9
00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:23,160
A journal?

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,570
It felt wrong, but I took a peek 
inside to see if I should keep it.

11
00:00:29,110 --> 00:00:30,780
Turns out it was for Asa.

12
00:00:30,770 --> 00:00:32,610
Three-Year Journal

13
00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:36,230
She wrote she was planning to give 
it to Asa when she turns twenty.

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:42,140
In the end, my sister could've
 chosen not to give it to Asa

15
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:44,000
had she lived another five years.

16
00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:48,650
Asa is longing for her mother now.

17
00:00:50,030 --> 00:00:53,260
In a sense, her mom's still 
alive in that journal.

18
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:56,850
Asa might want to read it now.

19
00:00:57,260 --> 00:01:00,760
Maybe it should be up 
to her when she reads it.

20
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:04,770
Then it's a question of timing.
 That's tough.

21
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:07,260
<i>Seriously?</i>

22
00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:10,040
<i>You're the one who got yourself killed.</i>

23
00:01:12,910 --> 00:01:14,660
<i>And now this journal?</i>

24
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,280
<i>Mom and Makio-chan both hid it from me.</i>

25
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:21,390
<i>Screw you.</i>

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,380
<i>Screw you.</i>

27
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:25,300
<i>Screw you.</i>

28
00:01:25,540 --> 00:01:27,540
Asa's Personal Belongings

29
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:27,260
<i>Screw you!</i>

30
00:01:28,830 --> 00:01:30,040
Asa...

31
00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:33,770
Your name was chosen
 with a great deal of care.

32
00:01:33,770 --> 00:01:39,000
It embodies the beauty of all new things
 that come with each day.

33
00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:44,340
I wish with all my heart that you'll 
be loved by everyone around you.

34
00:01:44,890 --> 00:01:48,140
And I'll do everything I can 
to make that come true.

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,270
Right now, I have no idea who you'll 
become or what decisions you'll make.

36
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:57,810
And I may not yet know 
for many years to come.

37
00:01:58,570 --> 00:02:03,440
But as long as you can love yourself,

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,760
I believe that's enough.

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,160
It was like gazing into a giant, dark pit.

40
00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:13,600
Lying at the bottom was a monstrous fear.

41
00:02:14,350 --> 00:02:19,290
The thought that perhaps...

42
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:23,220
my mom never really loved me.

43
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:28,300
Asa, as your mother, I...

44
00:02:28,310 --> 00:02:30,310
love you so much.

45
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:34,310
You don't know that!

46
00:02:34,310 --> 00:02:35,820
It could be a lie.

47
00:02:36,820 --> 00:02:38,420
Who knows?

48
00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:40,600
She could've written anything...

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,090
How would I know?

50
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:45,870
How would I know?!

51
00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:50,080
It's crunch time, so I'll be cooped up in my room. 
Go ahead and eat without me. Sorry. 
There's some food in the fridge.

52
00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:50,080
-M

53
00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:56,070
I'm home.

54
00:03:07,930 --> 00:03:14,600
Journal with Witch

55
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:37,940
Episode 8          Wander

56
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,960
Do you like it?

57
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:48,470
Wow!

58
00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:50,760
Happy birthday, Asa.

59
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,160
Thanks!

60
00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:54,320
I hope you'll use it.

61
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,150
Yeah!

62
00:05:22,570 --> 00:05:23,920
You heading out?

63
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:28,840
Asa, you didn't say you were leaving.

64
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,070
Have a good day.

65
00:05:32,670 --> 00:05:34,080
I'm off.

66
00:05:36,260 --> 00:05:37,330
What was that?

67
00:05:40,830 --> 00:05:42,810
Oh yeah! I was gonna tell you—

68
00:05:42,810 --> 00:05:43,770
Nara-san.

69
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:46,170
Can you spare a minute?

70
00:05:46,170 --> 00:05:47,280
Coming.

71
00:05:48,170 --> 00:05:50,760
She's absent, but I can't 
get a hold of her.

72
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,880
Wait, you mean it's not a cold?

73
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,100
What?!

74
00:05:59,670 --> 00:06:01,750
Hi, Makio-san.

75
00:06:01,750 --> 00:06:04,600
Asa's been absent since yesterday.

76
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,570
She told me she had a cold,
 but no one called the school about it.

77
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:14,370
{\an1}Hi, Makio-san.

78
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:14,370
{\an1}Asa's been absent since yesterday. She told me she had 
a cold, but no one called the school about it.

79
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:14,370
{\an1}Her teacher is wondering if something's wrong.

80
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:14,370
{\an1}Can she talk to you on the phone?

81
00:06:09,570 --> 00:06:12,140
Her teacher is wondering 
if something's wrong.

82
00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:14,120
Can she talk to you on the phone?

83
00:06:20,110 --> 00:06:21,590
Asa...

84
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:27,380
Conference Room

85
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:26,010
Hello? Emiri-san?

86
00:06:26,010 --> 00:06:27,390
Thank you for contacting me.

87
00:06:27,630 --> 00:06:29,320
I'm her homeroom teacher, Ogaki.

88
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,390
Oh, I'm Asa's aunt, Koudai.

89
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:34,810
I'm sorry I missed your calls.

90
00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:37,840
No worries. Is Asa-san okay?

91
00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:40,640
Well, that's the thing...

92
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,330
She left like she always does
both yesterday and today,

93
00:06:44,330 --> 00:06:47,240
so I assumed she was in school.

94
00:06:48,270 --> 00:06:51,700
I see. That makes sense.

95
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:53,840
Did she come home like always too?

96
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,800
Yes, she did yesterday.

97
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,770
In the evening, at the same time as usual.

98
00:06:58,770 --> 00:07:00,800
What should I do...?

99
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,300
It's all right.

100
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:04,340
We'll figure it out.

101
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:08,380
Um... Both Asa and I are chicken,

102
00:07:08,380 --> 00:07:11,300
so we've never skipped school 
or anything like that.

103
00:07:11,590 --> 00:07:15,320
So I think there must be a reason.

104
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,310
I doubt she's doing anything reckless.

105
00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:21,410
Though I'm kinda bummed 
she lied to me too...

106
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,940
You're right. Thank you.

107
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:27,270
Hey, Emiri-san?

108
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:28,260
Yeah?

109
00:07:28,260 --> 00:07:31,190
Can you tell me some places Asa might go?

110
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:32,940
I'll go find her.

111
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:38,350
Koudai-san, if she's coming home
 as usual, you can talk to her then.

112
00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:39,720
No, I'm worried about her.

113
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,850
I can't just sit around and wait.

114
00:07:42,470 --> 00:07:44,700
Oh, class must be starting.

115
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:47,160
I'm sorry. Can you message me later?

116
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,290
Sensei, I apologize for the trouble.

117
00:07:50,290 --> 00:07:51,390
Not at all.

118
00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:54,390
We have our meeting soon, 
so let's talk then.

119
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:58,000
Yes, of course. Please excuse me.

120
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,220
Call ended

121
00:08:00,050 --> 00:08:02,220
I hope Makio-san will be okay...

122
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,390
Nara-san, you and Takumi-san
 are childhood friends, right?

123
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:07,790
Oh, yeah.

124
00:08:08,170 --> 00:08:13,600
Would you happen to know what 
her late parents were like?

125
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,970
Well, uh...

126
00:08:15,970 --> 00:08:19,510
Her mom was super organized.

127
00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:23,180
And her dad barely ever spoke.

128
00:08:23,180 --> 00:08:25,100
But I'm not too sure.

129
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:30,630
Lately, I've realized that I don't 
 know what people are truly like.

130
00:08:32,180 --> 00:08:33,760
That's very mature of you.

131
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,810
R-Really?

132
00:08:37,490 --> 00:08:40,130
Sorry to ask you over for this.

133
00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:42,670
Well, it's a big deal.

134
00:08:42,670 --> 00:08:45,940
Besides, it was easier
 than you thought, wasn't it?

135
00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:48,410
Asking for help.

136
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:51,020
All you need to do 
is reach out and say so.

137
00:08:52,330 --> 00:08:54,470
It was really hard, actually.

138
00:08:55,620 --> 00:08:56,820
Koudai-san!

139
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,030
Sorry to keep you waiting.

140
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:01,680
Tono-sensei! Thank you for coming.

141
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,810
Do you have anywhere in mind?

142
00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:07,290
I asked her friend for ideas, so I was
 thinking of checking those places first.

143
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:10,420
I apologize for making 
such a fuss about this.

144
00:09:10,730 --> 00:09:15,800
Well... I'd argue it's better
 to make a big deal out of it.

145
00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:19,890
Asa-san is facing the reality that 
she's lost her biggest supporters.

146
00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:23,860
It's not rare for children to test
 the adults around them.

147
00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:28,670
So I think it'll be good to show her that 
this many adults are concerned for her.

148
00:09:28,670 --> 00:09:31,050
Even if we're not her parents.

149
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:34,820
Yes, you're right...

150
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,070
I'm gonna scold her good.

151
00:09:37,070 --> 00:09:39,490
You can be scary when you're mad.

152
00:09:39,490 --> 00:09:40,750
Go easy on her.

153
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,960
Everyone's got their own thing besides me.

154
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,920
How's that fair?

155
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,620
Emiri grew five centimeters just this year.

156
00:09:51,620 --> 00:09:54,760
Chiyo-chan's pretty </i>and<i> smart.

157
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,080
And Asuka-chan's family is super rich.

158
00:09:57,450 --> 00:09:59,080
I'm the only one with nothing.

159
00:10:01,770 --> 00:10:02,970
It's not fair.

160
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:04,320
Screw them.

161
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,410
It's not fair.

162
00:10:05,410 --> 00:10:06,720
Screw them.

163
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,840
It's not fair.

164
00:10:15,070 --> 00:10:17,760
It's all Mom's fault.

165
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,820
All of this...

166
00:10:20,010 --> 00:10:22,330
It's 'cause you went and died.

167
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,330
Maybe she's preparing to accept it.

168
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,590
Asa, I mean. That her parents are gone.

169
00:10:32,950 --> 00:10:34,930
Yeah, maybe.

170
00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:38,250
She sleeps a lot.

171
00:10:39,580 --> 00:10:43,110
Maybe it's her way of tending her wounds.

172
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:46,120
To process what happened internally.

173
00:10:47,470 --> 00:10:52,810
Maybe she still doesn't know 
how to get through it yet.

174
00:10:52,810 --> 00:10:54,900
I'm cold by nature.

175
00:10:55,730 --> 00:10:58,930
I didn't grieve at all 
when my father died.

176
00:10:59,380 --> 00:11:01,410
To this day, I feel no grief.

177
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,050
But it's not like I hated him.

178
00:11:04,050 --> 00:11:06,570
Perhaps it is a bit sad, but that's all.

179
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:10,540
So I can't find the right 
words to say to Asa.

180
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,830
You? Cold?

181
00:11:12,830 --> 00:11:14,220
Give me a break.

182
00:11:14,590 --> 00:11:16,710
I'd say you're full of passion.

183
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:18,660
Like how you get a bit grumpy.

184
00:11:19,210 --> 00:11:20,540
That's not—

185
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:21,870
I think we're close.

186
00:11:21,870 --> 00:11:24,600
Right. Let's park around here.

187
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:29,170
The bubble tea place down the street?

188
00:11:29,170 --> 00:11:32,950
Yeah. Apparently they've 
hung out there before.

189
00:11:32,950 --> 00:11:33,860
Huh.

190
00:11:35,070 --> 00:11:39,350
Um... Would a child skip 
school for bubble tea?

191
00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:42,390
I have no clue what they'd 
skip school for.

192
00:11:42,390 --> 00:11:44,150
Me neither.

193
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:44,890
Wait.

194
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,400
Neither of you have 
skipped school before?

195
00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:49,530
No.

196
00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:49,530
Nope.

197
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:53,950
I always attended the early study 
hours before school, so...

198
00:11:53,950 --> 00:11:55,250
Wow.

199
00:11:55,250 --> 00:11:58,140
Actually, I did it once.

200
00:11:58,140 --> 00:11:59,520
My first year of high school.

201
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,860
My friend invited me out for ramen.

202
00:12:01,860 --> 00:12:04,340
See? You did it too.

203
00:12:04,340 --> 00:12:07,430
It was fun. We got caught, of course.

204
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,410
The teacher barely even scolded us.

205
00:12:11,810 --> 00:12:16,990
But when I got home, my dad 
clicked his tongue at me.

206
00:12:17,940 --> 00:12:20,850
D-Dad, I'm sorry...

207
00:12:26,510 --> 00:12:27,510
Jeez...

208
00:12:27,510 --> 00:12:29,230
I turned stark white.

209
00:12:29,230 --> 00:12:30,830
That was the first and last time.

210
00:12:30,830 --> 00:12:34,330
Well, I'd like to raise an 
objection with your father!

211
00:12:34,330 --> 00:12:35,030
Huh?

212
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:39,280
He should have talked to you 
instead of clicking his tongue.

213
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,290
That's out of line.

214
00:12:40,290 --> 00:12:43,640
A single interaction can hurt 
a child's self-esteem.

215
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,710
Especially after they've 
expressed remorse—

216
00:12:46,050 --> 00:12:48,610
Er, I'm sorry. I mean no 
disrespect to your family.

217
00:12:48,610 --> 00:12:53,260
Nah. In fact, I'd love to hear
 you bash my dad more. Really.

218
00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:57,830
It's not often you get to hear—

219
00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:01,700
There she is.

220
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:05,070
And she's drinking bubble tea... 
while skipping school.

221
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,680
Why, that little...

222
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,630
Makio-san, keep your cool.

223
00:13:10,070 --> 00:13:13,080
Journal with Witch

224
00:13:14,350 --> 00:13:16,960
Wow, these things are so chewy.

225
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,650
And filling...

226
00:13:18,650 --> 00:13:20,110
I know, right?

227
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:22,960
I thought the same when 
somebody gave me some before.

228
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,130
You could replace an 
entire lunch with this.

229
00:13:25,130 --> 00:13:26,030
What?

230
00:13:26,030 --> 00:13:26,740
Huh?

231
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:29,460
I don't think I can finish this.

232
00:13:29,460 --> 00:13:32,310
It's different when you're young.

233
00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:33,380
Right, Asa-san?

234
00:13:38,350 --> 00:13:40,220
We were really worried.

235
00:13:40,580 --> 00:13:41,860
Liar.

236
00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:44,020
You just want Makio-chan to like you.

237
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,030
You're an important friend to me too.

238
00:13:48,030 --> 00:13:49,680
Of course I was worried.

239
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,110
It makes me sad to hear you say that.

240
00:13:52,110 --> 00:13:54,680
Thanks for waiting. Are you ready to go?

241
00:13:55,870 --> 00:13:57,570
You two can take the backseat.

242
00:13:57,570 --> 00:13:58,680
Thanks.

243
00:13:58,680 --> 00:13:59,710
What gives?

244
00:14:01,110 --> 00:14:02,740
What's up with all of you?

245
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:05,250
About school...

246
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,370
If you need a day off, you can say so.

247
00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:11,390
What's <i>not</i> okay is lying to everyone.

248
00:14:11,390 --> 00:14:14,270
Y-You're the one who's been lying!

249
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,130
Me?

250
00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:22,400
The journal. You hid it from me.
 My mom's journal.

251
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:25,150
It was tucked away
 in the back of your room.

252
00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:27,090
I found it, you know?

253
00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:31,410
Asa-san, you went into Makio's 
room without asking?

254
00:14:31,410 --> 00:14:33,360
Even if you're family, that's not—

255
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,970
Kasamachi-kun.

256
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,110
Sorry. I can't believe
 I'm acting like my dad.

257
00:14:37,870 --> 00:14:41,170
Asa, I wasn't hiding it from you.

258
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,240
You have every right to read that journal.

259
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,850
Whatever. Your room's so dirty, 
I couldn't believe it.

260
00:14:47,850 --> 00:14:49,540
How can you even live like that?

261
00:14:49,540 --> 00:14:51,850
That's beside the point right now.

262
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:56,170
And trying to hurt me in this moment 
won't solve anything.

263
00:14:58,110 --> 00:15:00,310
First things first, we talk it out.

264
00:15:00,710 --> 00:15:02,000
Don't forget that.

265
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:06,310
See you, Asa-san.

266
00:15:06,690 --> 00:15:08,030
Hash it all out, okay?

267
00:15:08,490 --> 00:15:10,470
Well then, I'll be off as well.

268
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:12,590
Thank you so much for your help.

269
00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:14,650
You too, Kasamachi-kun.

270
00:15:14,650 --> 00:15:15,920
I'll reach be in touch soon.

271
00:15:14,970 --> 00:15:17,200
You sure have it nice, Makio-chan.

272
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:16,760
Sure.

273
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:20,060
You've got all these people 
who care about you.

274
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,460
They came out to help because 
they were worried about you.

275
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:26,650
Yeah, but I know I don't come first.

276
00:15:29,870 --> 00:15:34,810
To put someone above all else
 is an enormous act.

277
00:15:35,410 --> 00:15:37,680
It's beyond my comprehension.

278
00:15:38,510 --> 00:15:44,840
But when I saw your mother's journal,
that was the impression I got.

279
00:15:45,170 --> 00:15:46,240
You read it?

280
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,630
No, I didn't.
 It would have only annoyed me.

281
00:15:48,630 --> 00:15:51,740
I just checked to see 
if it should be tossed.

282
00:15:52,170 --> 00:15:54,750
So, no, I wasn't hiding it from you.

283
00:15:54,750 --> 00:15:57,480
I just hadn't decided 
when to give it to you.

284
00:16:00,220 --> 00:16:01,140
Here you go.

285
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:07,880
Reading this won't tell me 
what Mom was actually thinking.

286
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:10,850
You're right. It won't.

287
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,030
Is that what you're hung up on?

288
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,010
I'll pour us some tea first.

289
00:16:19,510 --> 00:16:24,290
Asa's Personal Belongings

290
00:16:20,850 --> 00:16:27,510
You may be looking to me to tell you 
what your mother thought...

291
00:16:28,750 --> 00:16:30,300
But I can't do that.

292
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,250
I cannot declare what I'm unsure of.

293
00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:37,710
And the departed cannot 
speak for themselves.

294
00:16:38,820 --> 00:16:40,070
You're just making excuses.

295
00:16:40,070 --> 00:16:42,840
Th-That's not my intent...

296
00:16:43,810 --> 00:16:47,780
You know, I'm not right about everything.

297
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,310
So what I'm about to say 
is just a guess on my part, but...

298
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,780
Seeing the way you are now, 
I think you grew up loved.

299
00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:01,800
Asa.

300
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,600
In which case, I think my 
sister lived a good life.

301
00:17:07,330 --> 00:17:08,930
I hope that's the truth.

302
00:17:08,930 --> 00:17:11,760
Happy birthday, Asa.

303
00:17:12,190 --> 00:17:14,390
That's how I feel.

304
00:17:15,490 --> 00:17:17,160
Even though you hated her?

305
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,160
That has nothing to do with this.

306
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,710
Makio-chan, have you ever lost 
anyone important to you?

307
00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:27,760
No.

308
00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:31,840
But I have experienced 
something very sad.

309
00:17:32,580 --> 00:17:35,600
I don't intend to share it with anyone.

310
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,470
Why not? Isn't that lonely?

311
00:17:38,830 --> 00:17:41,930
No, it's not lonely. Not for me.

312
00:17:43,470 --> 00:17:47,840
My emotions are very important to me.

313
00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:50,940
No one has the right to trample them.

314
00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:58,840
And no one will ever feel 
the exact sadness I do.

315
00:18:00,260 --> 00:18:03,250
So I don't care to share it with anyone.

316
00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:05,090
I don't get that at all!

317
00:18:06,580 --> 00:18:08,220
I don't understand...

318
00:18:09,350 --> 00:18:12,000
Either way, at the very least...

319
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:21,130
Asa's Personal Belongings

320
00:18:12,260 --> 00:18:16,490
To leave something in writing 
for someone is tremendous work.

321
00:18:17,540 --> 00:18:21,130
It's not possible without deep conviction.

322
00:18:21,130 --> 00:18:22,710
Whatever! Get real.

323
00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:24,400
You mean your novels too?

324
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:26,050
Perhaps, yes.

325
00:18:27,660 --> 00:18:29,190
Go on and finish your tea.

326
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,230
I'm going out to get groceries.

327
00:18:40,130 --> 00:18:43,910
<i>Loneliness is a friend to her.</i>

328
00:18:44,620 --> 00:18:47,510
<i>But it shows me no mercy.</i>

329
00:18:56,540 --> 00:19:01,820
<i>I was longing for an absolute truth...</i>

330
00:19:02,830 --> 00:19:09,700
<i>But she didn't dare give it to me.</i>

331
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,960
{\an1}The Dragon Tamer of the
 Depths of Sleeping Valley

332
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,350
{\an1}Makio Koudai

333
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,960
{\an1}Makio Koudai

334
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,960
{\an1} The Dragon Tamer of Mount Terror

335
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,960
{\an1}Makio Koudai

336
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,960
{\an1}The Dragon Tamer of the Dry Lake

337
00:19:38,690 --> 00:19:45,010
Sadness was like walking down 
a long, never-ending beach.

338
00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:51,270
A beautiful beach that seemed to stretch
for eternity, where the shore, water,

339
00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:56,810
and sky became one in the distance.

340
00:19:58,270 --> 00:20:00,910
With every step,
 his feet sank into the sand.

341
00:20:00,910 --> 00:20:03,810
Tiny grains caught between his toes.

342
00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:07,170
His ankles were drenched
 with each incoming wave.

343
00:20:08,340 --> 00:20:11,420
Every time the cold 
wrath reached his soles,

344
00:20:11,420 --> 00:20:15,150
he was hit with the reminder 
that he was no longer here.

345
00:20:17,220 --> 00:20:19,710
My dragon's dead.

346
00:20:20,260 --> 00:20:21,770
He's gone.

347
00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:24,250
What do I do from here?

348
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,970
I'll move on.

349
00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:28,390
No. I can't forgive.

350
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,950
I'll avenge and kill...

351
00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:31,390
Kill who?

352
00:20:32,060 --> 00:20:33,180
I wish I could talk...

353
00:20:33,630 --> 00:20:34,700
To whom?

354
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:38,350
I just want to stay asleep.

355
00:20:40,230 --> 00:20:45,860
With each wave that came and went, 
Luca's heart swayed like a boat.

356
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,600
When will this beach ever end?

357
00:20:52,090 --> 00:20:53,540
<i>How can she...</i>

358
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,780
<i>How can she write like this... 
without ever having lost someone?</i>

359
00:21:01,230 --> 00:21:06,650
<i>How can she write like this... 
and yet not fully understand me?</i>

360
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,420
<i>How can she realize all of this...</i>

361
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:29,030
<i>but still refuse to lie and give
 me the answer I long for?</i>

362
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,880
<i>How?</i>

363
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:46,970
Asa.

364
00:21:48,010 --> 00:21:49,080
What's wrong?

365
00:21:50,830 --> 00:21:54,120
Mom and Dad...

366
00:21:56,050 --> 00:21:57,510
They're dead.

367
00:22:01,670 --> 00:22:03,190
They're gone...

368
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:05,360
Yeah.
